Todays media is sold out for money anyone who is ready to pay money media will write anything for him. A patriot like Lala Lajpat Rai who spent a lot of his paternal wealth for National Cause, went to jail faced a lot of hardship there, and ultimately gave his life in protest against Simmon Commission. On the other hand people who did not face even a single lathi in there whole life are honored with title of Father of Nation. It is just because Lala Lajpat Rai belonged to a party which is out of power for last 60 years. Had Lala Lajpat Rai not beaten with lathis Bhagat Singh would have not taken revenge by killing Sandus.
In Lala Lajpat Rai's time other leaders were praising English government for good work England have done to India. Akal Takht gave special memento to Genral Dayer for his great service to Sikhs after Jaliyanwal massacre. After Lalaji's death English government along with some betrayer sitting in great position in India. Tried to project Lala Lajpat Rai in Bad light and show to people that he died of heart attack and not by getting beaten by lathis but they were never successful in that.
Now ISI of Pakistan want to prove that there was never a Hindu who fought for Punjab's people so they a maligning Lala Lajpat Rai to merge Punjab with Pakistan. India's sold out media is ready to write anything for money. People who can do anything for money want to believe that all people are like him in the world and tries to malign people who are not like him.
